Why does Apple bother keeping old and "outdated" phones around? The 3GS was just retired a couple of months ago!

RIM isn't going to just flip a switch and retire all past phones immediately with the introduction of BB10. That would leave them with just two phones on the market upon introduction.There will be overlap with the two OS's to keep a range of phones out there at different price points, just as apple does.

We all know the phone is outdated, but few entry level phones if any are cutting edge either .
